I am perplexed at an odd mantra that the millennials seem to have latched onto; that the prima facto ingredient to accomplishment and success is pride, or as they like to express it, to “believe in yourself”. Oprah Winfrey opines on this topic with a religious fervour, as do so many other motivational thinkers. The truth is, they are not really motivational thinkers, they are motivational feelers and exploiters. And they teach that narcissism is a means to the end.
